| The most beautiful Integrated Tube amp? Yes, you really need to mate the Orchestra Reference with good equipment. It takes a high level of ancillary components before you start to push the limits of the Jadis, as opposed to having it held back.I like the tone controls. I am able to back... | |
| The most beautiful Integrated Tube amp? Tweekerman, the photo above by Bwhite IS the Jadis Orchestra. You are thinking of the Orchestra Reference. The Reference features the KT90 tubes(in place of 6CA7/EL34), transformer covers, 24K gold over brass knobs and fascia(in place of gold colo... | |
| Diy Watt/puppy clones: follow up Awesome job, Eldragon! Congratulations on truly one of the finest DIY loudspeaker projects around. And to think, this is your first. You are without a doubt, a prodigy. If you did this commercially, I have no question you would go down as one of T... | |
| Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive? 1) 1998 Audi A42) Suburu Impreza3) Audi S4 or BMW 330xi | |
| Personal amp evolution Always wish I would have bought that Bedini...1) Lafayette receiver - still own2) Macintosh 240 amplifier - my father's, he says it's still somewhere around, down the shore3) Philco receiver, with an 8 track!4) Sony something or other, 1970? recei... | |
| Personal speaker evolution I can't believe that I forgot about the JSE 1.8s I used to own. How would I have gotten through the late 80's without those Infinite Slopes? Never was turned on enough by the JSE 2s to go for them, although I did have them in a too small room(stor... | |
| Cambridge Audio D500SE vs Arcam CD72 The Cambridge D500SE gives up nothing to the Arcam CD72. They do, however, sound different. The Arcam is a leaner, faster, more detailed sound. The Cambridge is warmer, rounder, and richer. This comparison is most apparent in the midrange. The Arc... | |
| Personal speaker evolution 1) My father's homemade console/stereo. 9' long, speakers on both ends. Double thick 3/4" plywood, walnut veneer. 15" woofers, horn tweeters. Still own(he'd KILL me if I ever got rid of it).2) Stromberg Carlson - 50s vintage, not sure model3) Pana... | |
| Weirdest Question asked when selling gear? "Do you smoke? Do you drink? Do you have a dog? How old are you? Are you married? How tall are you, how much do you weigh? What is your hair color? What do you do for a living? How long have you been doing this? How long have you worked there? Whe... | |
| Thermistor problem in amp All of the responses are good in this thread.As a chemist who used to produce thermistors a long time ago, I can say that $250 is definitely out of line. As a matter of fact, I consider Linn wanting $15 for the replacement to also be unreasonable.... | |
| Stereophile looses Jonathan Scull Amen, Sean. I know your position on J - 10 and JA. I agree that Tellig does more than his share of promotion of Cary, Musical Fidelity, Rega, and Triangle. Too high a percentage of his reviews are dedicated to these four companies(also Macintosh a... | |
| Stereophile looses Jonathan Scull Wow, Nightdoggy and Danielk141 bring up names of reviewers that I actually learned something from. DB Keele, J Gordon Holt, Steven Stone, and Thomas J Norton. Nightdoggy, you are oh so right in that Keele in the less esoteric 'Audio' was able to p... | |
| Stereophile looses Jonathan Scull I have been a Stereophile reader since the mid 80's. In that period, I have held a subscription about 50% of the time. My opinions of the magazine are strong, but it is because my love for and expectations of the magazine are strong.It is obvious ... | |
| DVD/SACD on the Verge? SACD and DVD - A fit the analogy, "All dressed up with nowhere to go." I don't care if Sony started selling SACD players for $99, unless and until there is software to play in the machine, it is like having a screen door on a submarine. No, it doe... | |
| Opinion on Jadis Orchestra Refference Bigboy, I own a Jadis Orchestra Reference.I went to the Talon website, and was unable to find the sensitivity characteristics of the Khorus. However, based on the impedence plot(http://www.talonaudio.com/impedance.htm), I am sure the amp will be a... |
